Darian Lajoie. Loyal Heart. 3x3 inches (3.75 x 3.75 framed); 2015; encaustic, found objects, resin. SOLD This small mechanical heart is part of a series of hearts, each made of tinted resin and covered in watch gears and components, laid on a small canvas and coated in resin. This particular heart is from a phrase coined by Henry VIII in his jousting guise of Sir Loyal Heart, competing for the favour of his lady, Katherine of Aragon. His Loyal Heart days came to an end as he aged and began to court Anne Boleyn.
